McNumpty's contribution as chief football writer:

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer in Berlin

"Last time I was in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, Colombian pop songstress Shakira was also here and gave a stirring rendition of her haunting - and not in a good way - hit 'Hips Don't Lie' before Italy's World Cup final win against France in 2006.

"She is here again tonight but this time it is a family matter as she is here to provide support for her partner, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, in the Champions League final."

That is some Grade A analysis and exactly what I expect to see from a chief football writer.

Just like Martin Samuel.

Remember when we didn't know what Scholes sounded like?

I miss those days.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Scholes, Alex Song and Dixon in the ITV studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi = moody.

Rooney = you can't take the attitude away from him, he'd be half the player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Beastie Boys.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Juventus .

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do they have to lift that trophy up in the stands?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does Messi enjoy occasions like this, Thierry?

[Globalgunner]

Do they have to lift that trophy up in the stands?
